Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for November 14, 2016

I would have preffered not to have been punched in the mouth back in elementry school, but I’m glad the teeth that got knocked out were baby teeth.

Jennifer Roberson’s 1987 short story “The Court of the Summer King” (it is in the 1988 anthology “The Unicorn Treasury: Stories, Poems and Unicorn Lore,” compiled and edited by Bruce Coville and illustrated by Tim Hildebrandt) deals with “baby horns” of young unicorns.

so… uh… unicorns do not have horn fairies and get a sum of money when placed under the bed pillow while slumbering?

So many of my teeth fell at the same time, I looked like a piano. Anyway, don’t unicorns look like horses then when they loose the horn? Good thing Marigold saved hers. That’s powerful magic.

Sniff…they grow up so fast!

Oh gawd, I hope unicorns don’t get impacted wisdom horns. I had all four wisdom teeth pulled at once, and they had to break my jaw to get one of ’em out. (shudder)

Okay, my mind is now totally scared for life. Brrr!

As a toothpick? Can I have an “Eeeeeeeewwww” from the congregation?

One of my wisdom teeth has finally started to emerge. I’m 87.

Hi, I’m new to this strip!

When she said “fillyhood” My Little Pony flashed through my brain.

What a cute idea.

If this was a different kind of comic, I could see Phoebe attempting to use it as a tiny magic wand.

I have somewhere, a collection of Unicorn stories. One was about a tribe of people (I remember them to be inuit somehow, or Native American?) and the child was sick. The cure was a Unicorn Horn, and through a portal was a glade where Unicorns would. The main character, the father, had to go and break the horn off a Unicorn for it. It would kill the creature though. He found a young one, but could not bring himself to break the horn off. But it instead nocked its’ horn against his shoulder and it crumbled. It was its’ ‘Baby horn’ and it had a new one growing.
